Before we get back to the episode, I want to make sure you know about something that I'm sending out this Saturday.

You know, when I was in my 20s, I spent money like a lot of people in their 20s do going out for drinks, eating cheap food, a little bit of traveling, but in my 40s, my spending looks really different.

And that's totally normal. Have you ever thought about how your money spending changes from your 20s to your 30s of 40s and beyond?

That's what I'm going to talk about this Saturday.

Because as you earn more and as your values change, so should your spending.

Get on my podcast newsletter at IWT.com slash podcast newsletter so I can share what changed in my spending in my 20s, 30s and 40s.

That's this Saturday, October 7th. You can only get this at IWT.com slash podcast newsletter. Now back to the episode.

John begins this episode really angry. He's talking over me. He's admitting how resentful he is about having to pay child support.

And he goes off on this odd digression about not being a financial burden to his wife. Listen in.

That's child support. It's actually a lot of 100 bucks. How do you feel about that?

Super fucking resentful. Burns make the decor every second. Let's support each other moving forward in our financial journey.

Because I'm not a fucking burden. See there you go with your little anger thing. Oh, yes. Let's support each other.

I'm not a fucking burden. I'm not here to be anybody's burden. I'm good. I'm not your money bitch. Like I'm not your money burden.

Welcome back to part two of my episode with Lindsay and John here on the I will teach you to be rich podcast.

Let me give you a quick refresher on who Lindsay and John are between them. They have five children from previous marriages.

They were married together about a year ago. Their income is $150,000. Roughly 90 of that is earned by Lindsay and approximately 60 of that is earned by John.

They came to me asking how they could combine their finances. But John has over $125,000 of debt and he is very resentful.

He's resentful because he has to pay over 50% of his income to child support payments.

Lindsay's not used to having debt. She doesn't know how to work with it. And so they came to me asking what they should do.

But you're going to hear it. John talks over me a lot. He spins a lot. And when I ask him what are some possible options.

He can't conceive of them. He's still stuck being problem oriented. And what I want to try to do today is move him over to being solution oriented.

That's a profound shift. Now we pick up right where Lindsay is asking how can I support you?
